Set in Whanganui in the Manawatu region, The Signal Box has a balcony and river views. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers barbecue facilities and outdoor furniture. When you pull into the drive of the Signal Box, you'll see a house under renovation to your left. Pay no attention to that, but look straight ahead; the unit above the garages is the large, lovely room you'll have all to yourself. Enormous windows look over the bucolic property, which gently slopes down to the Whanganui River. It's really like a mini paradise and owner Renee couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Highly recommended!
